Eben Goodale Professor PI, Behavioral and Community Ecology, Conservation Biology College of Forestry, Guangxi University, Lab 519 No. 100 DaXue Road, Nanning, Guangxi 530004, PR China E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Cell: (+86) 18174128262; Skype: eben.goodale ORCID: 0000-0003-3403-2847 Web: www.animal-ecology-guangxi.com Biographical Narrative: Eben Goodale is Professor, PI of a group focusing on animal ecology and conservation at Guangxi University in China. He is interested in the connection between three fields of ecology: behavioral ecology, community ecology and conservation biology. His research focuses on how behavior, particularly communication, affects the interactions between species, and how knowledge about such interactions can be integrated into conservation and management plans. He received his bachelor’s from Harvard College (1997), his Ph.D. from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (2005), and held postdoctoral fellowships at the Massachusetts Institute for Technology, the National Science Foundation (USA) and the University of California, San Diego / University of San Diego. Much of his work has been done on birds and in Sri Lanka, but he has also conducted bird research in India, Papua New Guinea (PNG), and China, and has also worked on communication in bees. He is the first author of “Mixed-species Animal Groups” (Academic Press, 2017), the only book on this topic, and more than 50 scientific articles including publications in general science journals, such as Trends in Ecology and Evolution, Proceedings of the Royal Society B, American Naturalist, and Biology Letters, animal behavior journals, such as Animal Behavior, and Behavioral Ecology, and conservation/environmental journals, such as Environmental Pollution, Diversity and Distributions, Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment, and Biological Conservation. He has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in introductory biology, biodiversity, ecology, and experimental design and statistics in the United States, Sri Lanka, PNG and China. He lives with his wife, the ecologist Uromi Manage Goodale, and his son, David, in Nanning, China.
